Quigley Canyon Open Space

Quigley Canyon Trails is a hidden gem. It’s one of those locations that you would never just happen to discover. It’s tucked far away, among private residences, near old town Newhall. It’s also near 2 well known locations, Melody Ranch and Masters College. I recommend downloading the city of Santa Clarita trail map so you can keep track of your location on the trails as you hike.
This trail is really good for kids and it’s great if you’re interested in a good workout. The kids will appreciate the horses at the start of the trail and the easy path of Coyote and Fox’s loop. For a workout try the steep incline section of the coyote loop then make your way to the lookout point. I doubt that you’ll find a trail with a steeper incline in Santa Clarita.
The trail is sun exposed with some shady areas. There are some nice benches and a cool bridge made from power lines on the west section of coyote loop.

3 Stars? This area is used almost exclusively by local residents of Placerita Canyon. It’s a great place to run, MTB, hike or horseback ride… difficult to get to.
When I lived in the canyon I worked out there every day. Love this place!
Careful of the large coyote packs… they won’t attack, but they will surround you. It can be pretty intimidating.
Lots of deer to see roaming around the hills.
